Verdict

A typically intriguing renewal of this valuable handicap with the vote in favour of SOULCOMBE. He's looked a different model for being gelded/equipped with blinkers, landing handicaps at Haydock/Ascot prior to catching the eye from an unpromising position when fourth at Goodwood latest. Promising to be suited by this longer trip, he makes plenty of appeal at the foot of the weights. Godolphin-pair Wild Crusade and Al Nafir also have plenty to recommend them and can figure, along with Sheer Rocks

  1. SOULCOMBE
  2. WILD CRUSADE
  3. AL NAFIR (IRE)
